Our Mission

At Places.nu, we believe that discovering what's around you shouldn't be so hard.

As much as I love the world we live in, many of us feel disconnected from our local communities. Part of that is the constant noise of social media — but another part is the scattered, fragmented nature of local information. Every organization has its own site, its own map, its own event list.

Places.nu brings it all together. One clean, ad-free platform to explore what's happening where you live. For organizations, it's a way to reach and engage local audiences more easily. For everyday users, it's a simple way to get inspired, find events, and reconnect with the places and people around them.
